  • Comment: I think this could be an article, but I note that your main source is kotobank.jp which appears to be WP:TERTIARY - I'd rather you went to the original sources mentioned in kotobank and refer directly to those, so you can give a much more specific reference instead of just citing kotobank repeatedly. I'd encourage you to do this and then re-submit. Qcne (talk) 18:22, 17 September 2023 (UTC)


A woman wearing a Suikan at a festival

Suikan (水干) is a type of clothing that used to be worn by low-ranking officials serving the imperial court during the Heian period (794-1185). The word "Suikan" literally means "water-drying,"[1][2] referring to the process of stretching the cloth and drying it without using glue. The clothing is a sliding-door type of jacket with a single-breasted body and open sides, and the collar is tied with a kumihimo cord.[3] The term "suikan hakama" is also used to refer to the long hakama worn with the Suikan, although the exact meaning of this term is somewhat debated.[3] It is considered a quite formal form of clothing.[4]

In the late Heian period, various materials were used to make Suikan, including white linen, plain-colored cloth, and tie-dyed cloth. Warriors who became lower-ranked military officers of the court also wore Suikan, which gradually became a formal attire. From the Kamakura period to the Muromachi period, samurai wore Suikan as formal dress along with hunting clothes.[3]

It is made with a single body (no backstitching) with a rounded collar, similar to a hunter's robe. However, the collar is not fastened with a dragonfly, but with a string attached to the back center of the collar and the upper front edge of the collar. The breast and sleeves are decorated with chrysanthemum ornaments. The long part pierced through is called "oohari," the short part "kohari," and the remainder below is called "dew".[5]

The Suikan was typically worn in the banryo style, but a method was devised to wear it in the tari-kubi style with the collar folded inward. A braided cord was used to reinforce and decorate the garment, and the wearer would typically wear a kuboshi hat and kukuri hakama with the Suikan.[3]

Over time, various materials were used for the Suikan, including hemp cloth, plain silk, twill, and gauze. In some cases, the entire garment was made of silk for the sake of elegance. The hem of the Suikan was tied together with a braided cord to prevent fraying, and it was then tucked into the hakama.[3]
